"Kellner then hatched a plot to make a profit out of this terrible situation by offering a second young man money to falsely claim that Libovits had molested him as a child," adds Hynes.

Kellner is accused of trying to pay him $10,000. Rabbi Libovits went to trial last year on child molestation charges and strangely at the time, even his attorney questioned one of the alleged victims.

But Kellner, the District Attorney accuses, carries his alleged plot even further.

"Kellner sent emmisarries to Libovits's family telling them that he controlled the witnesses against Baruch Libovits, and that in return for $400,000 he would insure that the witnesses would not testify at trial.

Libovits' family, prosecutors say, refused the alleged extortion demands. But then a third victim comes forward, testifies against Libovits who is later found guilty and sentenced to 33 years.
